Announcing the winner of our December ‘Nature‘ contest

Woophy is proud to announce the winner of the December contest Christian C. From almost 2,000 entries we chose his picture of the ‘Wasp Spider’ as the one most representing nature.

We liked his macro picture because there was a lot of life in it. Some macro pictures are very aesthetic or can look almost ‘frozen’ but this picture is in every perspective dynamic. Not only the spider itself balancing upside down between the flowers, but also the colorful composition of the photo, the lines of the web and the plants and the clouds are full of live.

Also we liked the fact that it is a very special picture of a very common subject which is always more interesting than the other way around.

After having made a long list of nine pictures it was clear to us that we would bring Christians C’s picture to Mars if we had to explain nature on earth to a Martian. If you look closer there are many essential elements of nature in this composition. I mean there is flora and fauna, we have reproduction (the flowers), death(the almost dried out grass), water, sky, oxygen, photo syntheses etc.

I think for an abstract subject as ‘nature’ it is impossible to find one picture that ‘says it all’ but this one sure comes close.

Congratulants Christian you won our first competition this year.

    Unbelievable!! I have been very surprised and of course very happy to see the result of the Nature contest of December. My spider picture nominated as the winning picture, yes, unbelievable when I have seen so many other pictures that could have been nominated by the jury, who has done a very hard job.

    I want to make a collective big THANK YOU to all of you who have sent me their congratulations.

    And of course a special big THANK YOU to the jury!
